CONCEPT AND VISION
The design concept got inspired from ships manufacturing as were Dakeer island in the past which be fixed by structures at manufacturing phase, we redefined that creating by assuming the structures as closed spaces and the ship is the space between them which have constant activity as the ships are.
Inspiration
The inspiration was from the ship’s hull because Dakeer Island history as a shipyard Structure
The construction method required the presence of a permanent structure to help build it
Massing
Convert these structures into fixed spaces that contain the project areas People
The intermediate space between these masses is constantly dynamic and evolving, akin to a ship
The project itself was made of two main buildings. Each building applicate our concept by containing an open court which create access to the waterfront, the two buildings theirselves applicate the concept with the plaza.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project involved designing a business center while preserving the chosen architect’s unique style and background, requiring the designer to incorporate the architect’s distinct design principles, aesthetic values, and professional experiences.
Chosen Architect
PETER ZUMTHOR
He is a renowned Swiss architect known for his minimalist and contemplative approach to design. He is known for his attention to detail, use of natural materials, and commitment to sustainability. Zumthor’s work often emphasizes the tactile qualities of materials, creating buildings that are not only visually striking but also invite physical interaction.
CONCEPT
It was based on an original sketch of architect peter zumthor showing 3 main walls controlling natural lighting inside the buidling
The key difference between Zumthor’s sketch and mine is the secondary usage of the walls though zumthor was considering using the walls as the main structural elements i used the walls as the main circulation and experencial paths by using the local material which is the Jordanian stone and make it dominance throughout the building
